Atrial fibrillation propagates through gaps in ablation lines: Implications for ablative treatment of atrial fibrillation

Background It has been hypothesized that atrial lesions must be transmural to successfully cure atrial fibrillation (AF). However, ablation lines often do not extend completely across the atrial wall. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of residual gaps on conduction prop...
